The United States and other permanent member countries of the U.N. Security Council, including Russia and China, agreed early Monday to refer the issue of Iran's nuclear program to the council. The referral will come later this week but any action in the council would not occur until March at the earliest.
The agreement, which U.S. officials describe as a major advance, came at the end of a four-hour ministerial-level dinner meeting of the major powers at the official London residence of British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.
A joint statement said the five Security Council member countries, and Germany which also took part in the session, agreed that this week's meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency governing board should report the issue of Iran's nuclear program to the council.

Oh well, finally the major powers agreed on referring Iran to the UN Security Council
The referral to the security council is different from the vote once it's there and we do not know if the major powers (Britain, China, France, Russia, USA) would be able to press Iranian regime with the sanctions needed to halt their nuclear programme.
But this is one important step closer to what I predicted earlier! I am also waiting to hear President Bush's speech tomorrow night.
It is also interesting to read parts of Bush's interview with CBS talking about greater freedoms for the Iranian people.
Regime's downfall is in sight.
